Glad to hear that! Really neat. What would you recommend for a C240 (black) - the 5000k's? (For city and marker lights)

Really depends on your headlights I'd say. If you're running stock bi-xenons, those are rated at 4300K and if you want to color match, 5000K would be the best match. However, if you're on aftermarket HIDs between 6000-8000K range, then my 8000K would be the better match. Then again, you might like the off color between the two light housings and don't want to match up. Really up to you.

I think I'll go with the 5000k's since I'm pretty sure my headlights are the bi-xenons. How many pairs would I need for both city lights, and side markers?

Your city lights are 1 set and your sidemarkers are 1 set, so 2 sets total. As mentioned, my 5000K are on back order, but my shipment should be coming in soon so if you reserve your order today, your package will be delayed by a few days.

Hi, I have an 07 C230, how hard do you think it is to get these install on the sidemarker and city light? Thanks. Also is it illegal to not have an amber sidemarker light?

this forum is a fountain of information. im sure Mike would have chimed in and answered your question, but before you carry on with any more silly questions elsewhere on this board, please... do some research on your car.

to install the lights in your car, it is no easier nor harder than any other w203 c-class here, as it is the exact same procedure. everyone in this thread who has prchased his lights have installed the lights you speak of.
so no, it is not hard. but if you had to ask, you may want to take these down to your dealership for the install.

Glad you like. I'm getting my manufacturer has just wrapped up clean room testing of turn signals and will be shipping them out to me next week. Then I will be performing live real world testing to ensure that we have no issues with them. After turn signals are checked off, I'll be bringing festoons to market. I know you 203s use festoons for your plate lights, but have read a few conflicting reports as to what festoon bulb size it is.

Amber sidemarkers are required by law (at least in california), but for the most part, cops won't bother you about them (at least in cali). Now, if you get pulled over for front tint and missing plates, there's a chance they might just tack on clear or stealthed sidemarkers to the list, but it's a simple thing to switch to amber bulbs, and get it signed off.

All weekend orders have just been shipped out. Thanks everyone!

Update on turn signals: They've successfully passed clean room longevity testing and I'll have my test set sent to me with my next shipment for live testing, then hosting a group buy. Keep in mind these turn signals will be 3457 and 7507 only so check your lighting spec to make sure these will work.
